Way too much fun for one day!
Paultons Park is the theme park for families which has more than 50 wonderful rides and attractions included in the admission price.
New for 2009 is the park’s latest breathtaking ride, EDGE. Riders swoop and spin through the air reaching a height of 15 metres on a giant disc that travels along a 90-metre track featuring a ‘camelback’ hill to create an amazing floating sensation. Opening on 14th March, EDGE is the first ride of its type in the UK and perfectly complements the Park’s other thrilling rides and attractions including The Cobra. The largest of Paultons three rollercoasters, The Cobra features a thrilling combination of twists, drops and turns that have made it a great family favourite.
The action continues a pace at Paultons with guests being able to swoop on The Stinger rollercoaster, make a splash on the mighty Raging River Ride log flume, drop down the Jumping Bean and fly on the thrilling Sky Swinger.
Not to be left out, smaller children can look forward to visiting Water Kingdom, another new attraction at Easter for the 2009 season. Water Kingdom is a whole new world of water jets, giant tipping buckets, sprays, fountains, and super soakers for the little ones to enjoy and explore. This huge 8,500ft2 kids’ splash park paradise features more than 20 different ways of getting wet and has a new seated patio area nearby so parents can relax whilst watching the fun.
Younger children also adore the beautiful garden-themed Trekking Tractors ride, Land of the Dinosaurs, Seal Falls, the Digger Ride, Jumping Jack, Tiny Tots Town and the Magic Forest, where nursery rhymes come to life at the touch of a button, not forgetting the Wonderful World of Wind in the Willows where the characters from this classic story have their amazing adventures.
Percy the Owl and Scotty the Clown return with a ‘funtastic’ live action show – Wizard Percy and the Lost Dragon; little wizards and witches will love joining Percy and Scotty in a magical journey of song and laughter as they try to track down the mythical Lost Dragon of Paultons Park. Shows will take place most days throughout the Whitsun and summer holidays (please see website for details). Daily penguin feeding sessions also take place throughout the year, featuring an entertaining keeper talk which gives visitors a chance to learn more about these unusual and often humorous birds.
The fun goes on with a special events calendar, which this year features weekend visits from much loved children’s favourites on the following dates: Dora the Explorer - 9th/10th May; Peppa Pig – 20th/21st June; Fifi & the Flowertots – 25th/26th July; Postman Pat – 19th/20th September.
